[Verse 1]
[G]Sou[A]th [G]Ame[D]ric[G]a,[Cm]
babble -do, babble -do,
aye -yay, babble -do,
one favor you can do,
aye -yay, you can [D]do.
You beautiful [F]lands below
[G]don[D]'t kno[G]w what you began.[Cm]
[G]To put [D]it plainly, I'm tired of shakin'
To that [G]Pan -American [D]plan[G][D][A][C]
[G][A][Am][C][Am]
[C][G]
[D][G][D][A]
[D][Dm][D][G]
[A][C][Am][A][Dm][Abdim]
[G][C]
[A]Take [D]back your samba,
rumba, your conga,
I can't keep shakin' my
rumble [A]any [E]longer.
[D]Aye, [A]aye, aye
Now maybe [E]Latins
Aye
In [Em]their middles
[Baug]Aye
[G]Are built str[D]onger
[G]Aye, aye, aye[A]
But all this makin' with the quakin'
And the shakin' of the bacon
[D]leaves me achin'
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! [G]Woo! Woo!
Woo! you [D]shake it and you put it here,
[G]then you shake it [D]and you
put it [G]there.
That's [D]enough, that's enough,
take [G]it back,
my spine's out of [D]whack.
There's a great [Bm]big crack
in the [D]back of my sacroil[Bm]iac.
[D]Tak[E]e b[A]ack your cong[D]a,
your samba, your [Bm]rumba.
[D]Why can't you send us a less
strenuous num[A]ber?
It's getting so now [Em]that
even [Cm]in sl[G]um[A]ber
I hear the rockin' of maracas
And the knockin' of the
knockers [D]in my carcass
Holy! This fancy [A]swishin' in position
Wears out all of my
transmission ammunition
[D]Holy! Holy,
I know there's [A]danger really lurking
If my rear -end keeps on
working [G]at this [D]jerking
[A]Holy, [Cm]Sout[B]h Am[Baug]erica,[Em]
[D]take it away

[Outro 1]
